The waterfall is the largest, although not the highest, in the country. The vertical drop is 53m, but it has an impressive 300m span; one end of the falls is in China, the other is in Vietnam. The water volume varies considerably between the dry and rainy seasons: the falls are most impressive from May to September, but swimming during this period in the waterholes below may be difficult due to turbulence. after visiting Bangioc we have picnic lunch near by then we continue to visit Nguom Ngao Cave This is one of the most spectacular caves in northeast Vietnam.
